How come been Van Buren scrambles outside of the pocket and clearly isn’t going to throw it, one of the linebackers or corners doesn’t come up and drill him? It’s like they just hang back.

It has to be what they’ve been told all week. And the fact they’re just giving the middle up.

 

[JohnnyD123]

The 4th Down earlier that the middle was wide open and that goal line stand and we don’t protect the middle at all. That’s on banks for sure

 

[OrangeTsar]

That sucked

 

[Swiftybaby]

Lots of beta energy in here

 

[GhostVol]

A turd is still a turd

So TN oughta fly the white flag

If TN scores here will you be happy?

 

[YankeeVol]

I have no idea what Vegas was thinking in having Tennessee Tennessee, a 25 point favorite.

Especially considering the last 5 weeks

 

[rocketskates]

Need a long drive to get that one back. 21-7 at half then get the ball to start second half.

Definitely.

 

[Volsfannn]

Maybe the offense should practice holding onto the ball and getting some push on the goal line instead of what dance they're gonna do in the end zone when they score against a terrible defense

 

[LTVol]

Frustrating game again. We cannot put anyone away or play a crisp game. I guess it doesn't matter if we keep winning. This team is bad and we should be doing to them what we did to the 3 OOC openers.

At this point, I am wondering if we will struggle with UTEP.

Team lacks killer instinct. Plays just well enough to win

 

[VOLINVONORE]

this defense is weird tonight, they have played better completion and looked better. What is going on?

Defensive plays are coming in very late and the players are not lined up correctly.

 

[cwbytruckers]

You could drive a truck through those DL splits. Huge gaps over the ball.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

You could drive an 18 wheeler up the middle of our defense tonight

 

[Cartervol]

Now the defense is looking like crap.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

That's a staple of a CJH offense. It hasn't changed....ever.

Exactly. The D is always on the field about double our offense, so they shouldn't be gassed.

 

[tnvols72]

here comes our awesome play calling

 

[YankeeVol]

Lots of beta energy in here

You would know

 

[Caz]

This kid QB is about to get some traction.

We always make opposing QB Heisman contenders

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Getting gashed up the middle.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

What in the world happened to our run defense? Oh yeah, he tore his ACL.

 

[lvocd]

We're not even trying to stop the inside run...

We are flunking the eye test.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Where’s all the Vols by fiddiots?

 

[Jax_Vol]

where is our best DL…Mr O Thomas?

 

[jacvols]

One of the worst teams in the country and they just drove it down Tennessee's throat

 

[posivol]

go get 7

 

[volbound1700]

Just don't have an explosive offense. Score just enough for the D to make it stand up. Nico not a consistent passer.

Sampson has started a trend of fumbling at the worse times and having a drive where we ran the ball 4 straight times and didn't get in.
